In carryingr out my invention as here emhezflied :2 represents a receptacle of any suitahle size, shape and material having a central here er cavity l divided inte two hy an integral partition the latter heine' preferably smaller in capacity than the former and adapted le held the eondiment which is generallyleast used.

.liar-h end et the receptacle is provided with external threads 7 en which are mounted the capi; Each cap consists el an end wall S) and a flange lO provided with threads ll, and the end wall provided with a central depression lf2 having pei-felations 13 therein and a nulnher et' radiating deu preseiens 1l; preferably three in number, which are en the Same plane as the central depression and act as seals for engagement with the end et' the receptacle when the cap le threaded thereon; Nithin the central depress-ien relatahly mounted the closing?r plate er lisk 5 having perforations 16 therein and held in place by a pivot 17 or its explivalent which passee4 through 'the closing` plate and the central depressedpcr tien of the cap.

From the closing plate projects an eperating` handle er lever 1S, the sides et' which are turned upto produce flanges l!) and havingits end turned over as at 2O to meet the flanges, thereby eliminating the sharp edges which might have a tendency te injure the person using the saaie. The handle or lever 18 operates within one of the radial depressions and projects a short distance beyond the outer circumference of the cap, so that it may he readily and quickly actuated,y and the npstanding Walls on each side of the depressions act as Stops to limit l the movements ot' the wall of the receptacle. so

operatin handle or lever, so that the action of the c Using plate is regulated. 1

The closing plate is provided with an integral projection 2l at its periphery, and to this is secured one end of the spring 22, the opposite end being secured to a lng or projeetion :23 cnt from one of'the radial depressions of the cap and bent outward as plainly shown in Fig. and this lng or projection is so situated that the hole 2l formed by producing Said lng,r is closed by the end of the as to prevent the condiinent from accidentally spillingr from the receptacle.

When the rondiinent shaker is Standing iipoii a table or other object, those portions of the caps between the radial depressions act. as feet. and the operating parte all lie below their outer faces. To use one of the condimenta` it is only necessary to actiiate the closing plate by Yforcing tlic operating handle or lever against the action of the spring, when thcperforations in the closing plate will be brought into alineinciit with the lerliorations of the cai therebv iei'initi ting thecondiinent to be removed li'omthc receptacle, and when anlicient eondiment is obtained the operating lever is released at which time the closingr plate will be rotated in the opposite direction by the spring, thus clocing the pertorations in the cap. llither pf the condiments in the receptacle may be removed in the manner above stated, and wli'lle one of the condiments is being used, the other cannot be accidentally spilled becanse the closing" plate on the cover at the end of the receptacle not being used. will be in its closed position.

0l course l do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction as herein shown, as these ma)7 be varied within the limits of the aiipeiided claims without departingr fr'oin the spirit ot in v invention.

lllavinlig1 thiis fully described iny invention, what l elaiin as new and iiaet'nl, is-

1. A ccndiinen't shaker compi-isine` a receptacle provided with external threads at each end thereof and having the interior thereof divided into two compartments, a. cap for each end of the receptacle. each cap lconsisting of 'an end plate having a central perforated depression and a plurality oit other depressions radiating therefrom, said radiating depressions engaging the end of matinee the receptacle to position the cap. a threaded flange forined integral with the end plate, a perforated closing1r plate rotatably mounted in the central depression, and means for holding said closing plate in its closed position.

2. A eondiinent slialier comprising a re eeptacle provided with external threads at each end thereof divided into two compartments, a cap for each end of the rec ptacle, eaclieap consisting ot an end plate having a central perforated depression and a i'iliirality of other depressions radiating;r therefrom. Said radiating,r depressions engaging thel end. et receptacle to position the rap., a threaded flange 4toi-ined integral with. the end plate, a perforated closing plate situated in the cen-- tral depression, plate in position, an o peratili handle formed integral with the cloeiiigg plate and situated in one oit' the radial ilepreesiolis, and means tor norinallj,y holding Said'v @losing plate in its closed position.

3. il rondiinent shake' comprising; a receptacle provided with external threads at each end thereof and haring the interior thereof divided into tiro compartments, a cap for each end ot' the receptacle, each cap consisting ot' an end plate,harina;1 a central perforated depression and a g'iiiia-lity of other depresf .ons radiating therefrom, a, threaded flange iorineil integral withA the end plate.

pivoting .said plate in position, an operating handle formed integral vwith the plate and `situated in one ot' the radial depressions, said handle having flanges formed with its` sides and end, a lng termed integri-al with the edge of the closing plate, another lng formed t'roin the cap iii the re gion of one ol' the radial depressions. `Said lng' beingbent outward and the holelett thereby overlying` the end oit the receptacle, and a spring ha ving; its ends tasteiied to :said ings 'tor normallyholdingr the closing plate in its closed position.

ln testimony whereof, l have hereunto affixed niv signature iii the presence of two slibseril'iiiig witnesses.
